Rooted in Tradition, Driven by Purpose
Certes Financial Pros LLC is more than a lending service—it's a mission-driven organization established by the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians to promote financial opportunity and economic independence. As a sovereign tribal entity, we are proud to serve as both a vital economic engine for the Tribe and a reliable financial resource for people across the United States.
Our goal is to provide accessible, respectful, and transparent financial solutions to individuals who may not have access to traditional credit. We believe that everyone deserves the chance to manage unexpected expenses with dignity and control.
Leveraging digital innovation to foster business growth and economic resilience
Although geographically remote, the Tribe has embraced the opportunities provided by the internet to foster business growth and economic resilience. Certes Financial Pros LLC is a direct result of this vision—formed to promote the Tribe's self-determination and economic diversification.
As an economic instrumentality of the Tribe, Certes Financial Pros LLC operates from within the Tribe's sovereign reservation and is fully governed by Tribal law.
Our operations are legally authorized and conducted under the oversight of the Tribal Financial Services Regulatory Authority (TFSRA), which grants us a valid Financial Services License.
Our online installment lending platform not only supports individuals seeking flexible financial assistance—it also contributes directly to the Tribe's long-term sustainability.
We're proud to serve both our community and customers across the country—offering an alternative when traditional banking institutions say "no."
